Adaptations is a solo exhibition by UK Street Art stalwart
and modern-day renaissance man, Kid Acne. A celebration in printmaking
and illustration, this exhibition explores the notions of sampling and
remixing and aims to highlight the distinction between ‘loving homage’
and ‘plagiarism’ – arguably a gray area within the art world today.Part retrospective, Adaptations showcases selected artworks from the Kid Acne archives, which pay dividends to seminal moments in popular culture, such as his re-imagined versions of Wizbit, The Beastmaster, Paul’s Boutique and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen – many of which are being shown in London for the very first time. Alongside such pieces are new and exclusive works made specifically for the show. Expect a heady mix of 80′s flashback and B-Boy decadence.
Duration: 7th March – 30th March
